Gate accounted for approximately $15 billion, around 26 times its April level, and recorded month-over-month growth of 308%, the fastest among the exchanges covered in the report.

The report noted that Gate’s perpetual futures trading volume had maintained triple-digit growth for three consecutive months, increasing approximately 131%, 177%, and 308% month-over-month since May, respectively, demonstrating an accelerating growth trajectory. CryptoQuant noted that, compared with the episodic growth seen on some platforms, Gate’s sustained expansion more clearly reflects the continued migration of traditional financial asset trading demand onto crypto trading infrastructure, making Gate an exchange to watch in the crypto-equities race.

Gate Founder and CEO Dr. Han Featured in The Economist Enterprise Interview: Gate Accelerates Development of Multi-Asset Financial Infrastructure

In an interview with The Economist Enterprise, Gate Founder and CEO Dr. Han stated that as the industry evolves, digital asset platforms face challenges extending beyond technology to risk management, user protection, and regulation. In TradFi integration, Gate has developed a multi-layered offering spanning tokenized assets, derivatives, and native stock trading, launching products and services including xStocks, Ondo, Gate TradFi, Pre-IPOs, IPO Access, and Gate Stocks. Gate Stocks, in particular, significantly lowers the barriers for global users seeking access to traditional financial markets. Gate is also continuously enhancing its around-the-clock trading and liquidity infrastructure to meet global users’ cross-market asset allocation needs.

The Economist Enterprise also noted that as the digital asset market becomes increasingly institutionalized, compliance, transparency, and infrastructure capabilities are becoming critical dimensions of platform competition. Gate continues to advance compliance efforts across multiple jurisdictions worldwide and has provided third-party audits and open-source Proof of Reserves since 2020. In addition, Gate is bringing AI infrastructure into Web3 through products including Gate.AI, Gate MCP, and GateClaw, connecting AI with trading, wallets, and other services and supporting the platform’s evolution from a traditional trading venue into integrated financial infrastructure connecting digital assets, traditional finance, and AI applications.
